New pictures show Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) is livid when she catches Michael breaking the injunction to stop him seeing Scarlett... again, but she is pleased to see Alice take her side by slapping Michael, leaving the womanizer stunned.

As Alice takes Janine’s side, she tells him that she won’t allow him to use her anymore and then slaps him, while Janine thanks Alice for her support.

Then Michael storms after Alice and confronts her, but whose side is Alice really on?

When the mother of Michael's child is out of sight, Michael grabs Alice and it's clear the whole row was a setup to restore Janine’s trust in her.
